Hello

Don't know if anything can be done but I have this photo of my mam but it's not very clear wonder if anything can be done to improve the photo as the face seems very dark round the eye area

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Look up at Bradford Archives
« on: Tuesday 24 January 23 15:53 GMT (UK)  »
This is a long shot but just thought I would ask.

I am looking for 3 births with parents name in the Shipley area.

I have been advised by Bradford Archives that there is a register of children in the township of Shipley 1774-1858 (36D81/1/2) that will possibly have the information I require but I can't get into Bradford  and can't really afford for them to do the search.

The children I am looking for are Robert Slingsby 1814, Samuel Slingsby1816/17 and George Wilkinson Slingsby 1818/1819 all three according to census were born in Shipley

Hope this site can help me.

Flintshire / John Evans ad Elizabeth Roberts.

Happy New Year to all

I have found that my ancestor was John Evans baptised Holywell 20.08.1780 son of John and Elizabeth Evans.  Although he was a shoemaker he enrolled in the 55th foot in Plymouth in 1807 (all information been kindly supplied by Rootschat) He married in London and his kids were baptised all over the country.  My great great grandmother Elizabeth being born in Ireland. (not got her date of birth?)  He married Isabella Skelton in London 1813 and died in Liverpool as a shoemaker 1833  All evidence proven.

It is his parents and backwards from them that I am now struggling.

I have found a couple John Evans and Elizabeth Roberts abode Holywell but married at Baghillt 05.08.1775 which seems to be appropriate.

My problem now is how do I determine which is my branch in Wales as Evans and Roberts are prolific. 

Can anyone help me find John Evans and Elizabeth Roberts baptism circa 1764?

Hope you can put me on the correct route

Armed Forces / James Potter and John Bright
« on: Tuesday 21 December 21 21:21 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to locate records of James Potter and John Bright both were serving in the Shropshire Militia in 1798 when they both married at Cannongate Edinburgh.  Both acted as witnesses for each other.  James Potter married Jane/Jean Holdsworth and John Bright  married Agnes Smith. 

However the Shropshire Militia I believe only went into Scotland in 1797 could anyone give me any information on these two.  James and Jane were named on the death certificate of Daniel Potter as his parents.  Can't find his baptism or any siblings.

Hoping against hope that someone can advise on this as James Potter is my 3rd great grandfather and at the moment I am brick walling on this branch. I don't have an age or a place of birth
